I've had this tool just collecting dust in my shop and am not 100% sure what it's for. This tool belonged to a dear friend who passed away back in 1995 and he gave it to me, but never told me what it's for. My first guess back then was for something to do with v-belts, but that guess has changed.
I'll withhold my guess until you guys/gals have a go at it.
And, No, I don't think it's for using against nagging wives.
Just kidding.
Of course, it's possible that my guess is wrong, but it looks similar to another tool I own that is not nearly as old.
One part is hinged on the other that appears to be the handle. When you squeeze or move the lever part (that's what I'll term it) the pulley-like part rides upward on the handle part.
